Judgment Effective for 30 Days Can it Be Requested for Explanation?
According to Article 486 of the Civil Procedure Code 2015 regarding the explanation and amendment of court judgments and decisions, it is stipulated as follows:
- The person entitled to enforce the judgment, the person obliged to enforce the judgment, individuals with rights and obligations related to the enforcement of the court's judgment and decision, and the enforcement agency have the right to request in writing the Court that issued the judgment or decision to explain and amend unclear points in the judgment or decision for enforcement.
- The Judge who issued the decision or the Judge presiding over the trial is responsible for explaining and amending unclear points in the court's judgment or decision. In the event that they are no longer Judges of the Court, the Chief Justice of that Court is responsible for explaining and amending the court's judgment or decision.
- The explanation of the court's judgment or decision must be based on the minutes of the trial, the minutes of the meeting, and the deliberation minutes. The amendment of the judgment or decision is executed under the provisions of Article 268 of this Code.
There is no stipulated time limit for the person obliged to enforce the judgment, individuals with rights and obligations related to the enforcement of the judgment, and the enforcement agency to request the explanation of the judgment.
Thus, although a civil appellate judgment has been effective for 30 days, the person entitled to enforce the judgment, the person obliged to enforce the judgment, individuals with rights and obligations related to the enforcement of the judgment, and the enforcement agency still have the right to request explanations of unclear points in the judgment.
This request for judgment explanation must be made in writing and sent to the Court that issued the judgment.
Sincerely!
